Don't Jive the Hitman

As recorded on John Daversa's "Live at Catalina's", this chart is a swingy, bluesy tune built on a bass line groove in 7/4. There are solos in the guitar and alto saxophone before a trumpet solo begins softly and sparsely in a new key (a minor). The solo is accompanied by a seamlessly steady layering of instruments and colors, arriving at an intricate and powerful out chorus. It has proven to be a rousing closer. Key: F Blues.

"Every human being is exquisitely unique, possessing infinite pathways of success. Aim to approach every task and every moment with immense excitement, creativity, joy, humility, integrity, gratitude, without expectation and watch what happens. What you want for yourself, give freely to others. Our musicianship is simply an extension and expression of our level of consciousness."-John Daversa
